Her er hva Julian Vereker (grunnlegger av Naim) sa om saken. Tror ikke han var helt på talefot med Ivor på den tiden...........
Du finner forøvrig mye mer om Lingo på Naim-forum, bl.a. hvordan du fjerner filteret.

Just a little re-cap, it is the mains input filter in the lingo that
seems to cause the problem, since it is not just enough to turn it
off, it needs to be unplugged. This also applies to the CD12 to a
greater extent - the difference here is quite shocking. julian

I have not delved into the whys, but when we were first forced to look
in detail at the EMC regs and the effects on our designs, we found
that the easy way to solve the mains borne interference was to use a
mains filter. However the effect on the sound quality was disasterous,
so we had to solve the problem at the source(s) inside the equipment.
A filter in one piece of equipment appears (electrically) across the
mains supply to the whole system.
As I have said before, the simple fact of plugging in a Lingo (or more
obviously) a CD12, one can clearly hear a degradation of the overall
musical performance - (not using either of those components).
In your system, one is discussing several choices which have obvious
contra-indications. The Lingo has the filter, the Valhalla is very
noisy, the Ekos is a gimbelled arm . . . (I have no home experience of
any of these products for at least ten years, but I do get to hear
them in the factory and at dealer's)
